Hi, everyone! @marcozagara here with the final piece of my takeover. In this edit, I wanted to represent the immense power of reflections. I think they can reveal your deepest emotions, they can let you find out totally unexpected sides of yourself, but they can also give you the possibility to visualize something that's not real.

Hi there! It's @marcozagara. Today, I have the pleasure of showing you a bit of space travel. Just imagine taking the interplanetary metro every day to commute to work. Now, tell me this doesn't sound fun!

The best part of this edit was blending the objects together, especially the astronaut, to make the whole scene seem realistic. I usually use a lot of color lookups and adjustment layers in Photoshop, and then I always finalize my work with the white Camera Raw filter.

Hello everyone! @marcozagara here again. As you might know by now, I really love to include space-related elements in my edits. In this image I wanted to combine space with a lightbulb, which is often used to symbolize ideas, because most of my work stems from imagining the universe. I'm curious to know, what is your approach to creating and expressing yourself?

Hi, @marcozagara here! I've always been intrigued by the idea of opposites, and what better subjects than fire and ice to represent this?
•
I started with the base image, then I replaced and masked both faces. I masked the two elements inside the irises too. I finished the piece by masking fire and ice and blending them with the faces using the blending mode "Overlay".
